It turns out that the left brain right brain element is pretty much a hoax, and that there's background on why the image changes and what that means or doesn't mean. They also have a second image that is (incorrectly) used as a right brain-left brain test, and I found the whole thing fascinating. </p> <p>-- Tim </p> Thanks Kelly and thanks to Megan who followed up with more on the dancer at:

We had a blast Wednesday night with a bunch of friends huddled around a monitor, watching the image spin for over a half hour. My husband and a friend could only visualize the image spinning clockwise, unless they stood behind the monitor and peered down at a 10 degree angle. Another friend could *only* see it counter-clockwise, no matter what. For me (like you), it kept switching. </p> <p>Now here's what's interesting... my husband and friend, who could only see it clockwise, are both artists. The counter-clockwise only friend is an engineer. As for me, I'm an entrepreneur who has a masters in comparative religion but built a career in information security and is now in web development. (Comic Wonder -- www.comicwonder.com -- is our latest project.) Hmmmm... It may very well be legit!</p> <p>Thank you for a great blog!</p> I am so glad you wrote about this!
